Queen Elizabeth II National Memorial Masterplan Design Competition

Type: Competitions / Awards
Location(s): International
Description:
The Queen Elizabeth II National Memorial Masterplan Design Competition is an open search for an exceptionally dedicated and inspired multidisciplinary team to create a landmark memorial masterplan of outstanding aesthetic quality that celebrates and honours Queen Elizabeth II.
Envisaged as a celebration of Elizabeth II as well as a place of reflection, the memorial project needs to tell the story of a long reign and be beautiful, inclusive and sustainable. The site traverses London’s Grade I listed St James’s Park from Marlborough Gate on The Mall covering land surrounding the pathway to, and including, the Blue Bridge and across to Birdcage Walk.
The challenge and opportunity for competing design teams could hardly be more significant: the project will create a new national landmark.
Teams interested in entering will need to read the competition Search Statement to thoroughly understand the project vision set out in the Foreword and the initiative’s objectives before submitting an Expression of Interest at the competition’s first stage.
